Initially I would like to thank you for your time...
I created a server socket in c++ in my macbook and a client/socket using Java in a diffrent machine which runs windows xp. I have specified the port to 5000 but I cant specify the correct Host and thus I can not make the connection. When I created a c++ server/socket in windows xp using WinSock2 the connection was made perfectly as I used the localhost...any ideas???
Thnx in advance
C++ code
int main( int argc, const char** argv ) {
/* SOCKET VARIABLES */
int sock;
struct sockaddr_in server;
int mysock;
char buff[1024];
int rval;
/*CREATE SOCKET*/
sock =socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if (sock<0)
{
perror("*FAILED TO CREATE SOCKET*");
exit(1);
}
server.sin_family=AF_INET;
server.sin_addr.s_addr=INADDR_ANY;
server.sin_port=5000;
/*CALL BIND*/
if (bind(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&server, sizeof(server)))
{
perror("BIND FAILED");
exit(1);
}
/*LISTEN*/
listen(sock, 5);
/*ACCEPT*/
do{
mysock= accept(sock, (struct sockaddr *) 0, 0);
if (mysock==-1)
{
perror ("ACCEPT FAILED");
}
else
{
memset(buff, 0, sizeof(buff));
if ((rval=recv(mysock, buff, sizeof(buff), 0)) <0) {
perror("READING STREAM MESSAGE ERROR");
}
else if(rval==0)
printf("Ending connection");
else
printf("MSG: %s\n", buff);
printf("GOT THE MESSAGE (rval = %d)\n", rval);
}
return 0;
}while (1) ;
Java code
import java.io.; import java.net.;
public class SOK_1_CLIENT {
public void run() throws Exception
{
Socket SOCK =new Socket ("localhost",5000);
PrintStream PS =new PrintStream(SOCK.getOutputStream());
PS.println("HELLO TO SERVER FROM CLIENT");
InputStreamReader IR =new InputStreamReader(SOCK.getInputStream());
BufferedReader BR = new BufferedReader(IR);
String MESSAGE =BR.readLine();
System.out.println(MESSAGE + "java");
}
}
hostsfile, you need to use the IP address.
